lM PROVEMENT iN FL UID-EJECTORS.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, JOSEPH W001), of Red (Bank, in Monmouth county, New Jersey, have invented a. new and useful Improvement in De vices for Elevating Fluids and Grain; and I do hereby declarethat the followin gis afull, clear, and exact description of the construction and operation of the same, reference being-had to the annexed drawings, making a part hereof, in which- .1 Figure l. is a longitudinal section of my im proved device; Fig. 2, a side view.

In the drawings, A A is aeurved pipe, each legthereofhein g composed, if necessary, of any number of sections screwed together or joined in any substantial manner, the section A being-connected with the section A by means of the smaller pipe B.

O is an aperture in the pipe. There may be any desired number of similar apertures.

The pipe-A A may have either or both of its legs extended to any desired length. The aperture 0 is placed at a point below the surface of the fluid to be elevated and ahead of the point in the pipe A where the steam or air jet, which is the propelling" power, is admitted. Steam directly from a boiler or air from a blower is admitted into the top of the pipe A, and passing down comes in contact with the fluid or grain to be elevated, which fluid or grain tindsits way intothe pipe through the aperture orapertures 0,,and is forced up the pipeA.

This device can be used for raising water or oil from wells, 'no matter of what depth. In

apptying it to oil-wells it isp'laced inside of the ordinary tubing.

I disclaim the controlling use of steam and air as motive owers for ejecting fluids from wells; but

What I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

The employment of a curved pipe provided with an aperture, (J, or several similar apertures, placed at a point in the pipe where it or they shall be below the surface of the fluid to be elevated and in advance ot'the pointin the pipe where the steam or air, which is the propelling power, is admitted, in the manner and for the purpose substantially as described.
